[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1979629, member: 59526"] For me and mine I found that increasing the preload into my shoulder pocket helped. Not so much as to induce shaking but enough to tame the recoil and help with seeing less of your pulse in the crosshairs. All things being equal it’s still harder to shoot these guns. Balance of the gun is a factor, having a lighter weight barrel that heats up faster, and then less mass in the system to keep it stable. My gun is a ~7.5-8lb 30-06 shooting 200 gr game kings at 2685 ft/sec w/out a brake. Also if you are seeing a lot of movement in the crosshairs during dry fire try putting a snap cap or spent round in when doing so. With my model 70 the crosshairs jump ~1-2 inches without a snap cap and there is no jump with. [/QUOTE]
